DEATH OF Mr.. BERN SCHWAB.

We are called upon this week to Chronl-
Gle the departure to the world beyond, Of
another old resident, BERN Schwab, who
died at his home in the First ward from
heart disease Friday morning, May 10,
1887. Although Mr.. Schwab's health
Was apparently failing for year past,
his death was not only sudden but wholly
unexpected. Deceased retired AS usual
Thursday night showing no premonitions
OF sickness, but awakened his family at
about o'clock next morning bv his
heavy breathing and evident suffering.
His son David at once summoned Doctor
w. @. Spalding, but Notwithstanding he
made all due haste, before he reached
the sufferers bedside the vital spark had
fed
Mr.. Schwab was born at Rimper, Ba-
varia March 10, 1914, and was therefore
in his 74h year at the time of his de-
cease He emigrated to the United States
in 1887, and for a long time lived south,
in 1913 taking up his residence at Nat
chez, Mississippi, where he resided 10
years, when be came to this city in 1856
and opened the clothing store which is at
present owned by his son, VI. B. Schwab,
of Cleveland, Ohio, and conducted by
his other son David w Schwao A resi-
dent here for over thirty years he was
prominent and we'll known in the COM
muniiy. Possessed of friendly ways and
of quiet and unassuming disposition,
his acquaintance embraced a very large
circle with all of whom he was on the
most pleasant and intimate terms. His
death is sincerely regretted and the fami-
ly have the sympathy of the community
in their bereavement.
With his wife and the two sons above
mentioned, Mr.. Schwab leaves five daugh-
tiers, Mrs s. Mandel and Mrs. J. Calm,
of Chicago; Mrs. E Scheuerman. of
Griffin, Georgia; Mrs. l. Greenwald, of

BRIDGE MATTER SETTLED.

A special meeting of the Board of Street
Commissioners was held last evening at
which w. H. Keepers, of the Milwaukee
Bridge and Iron Works, was present and
signed an agreement to lay timber string
ers along the piles as was deemed neces-
sary in the judgment of Commissioner
Finn and other members of the Board
No charge is to be made for this additional
work. On motion of Commissioner Jones
Commissioner Finn was appointed to
superintend the building of Second street
bridge at $500 day. BY unanimous
vote the time for the completion of the
bridge was extended 80 days from May
81. This settlement of the bridge matter
will no doubt be satisfactory to the citi-
zens generally, and it is subject for
congratulation that the controversy, which
at one time Looked so threatening, has
been anlicably arranged.

A BRAVE MAN GONE.

Colonel Bradford Hancock, major and
later commander of the gallant old Twen-
ty-ninth Wisconsin regiment, died at his
home in Chicago Sunday, May Is. His
old home was at Marshall where he en-
listed. In 1868 he was elected sheriff of
Dane county. Colonel Hancock removed
to Chicago in 1873, and for seven years
acted as assignee in bankruptcy. He
was brave man on the battle field and
honest and true in all the relations of
life. His death will be deeply regretted
not only by his old comrades, but by a
large circle of friends. His wife, one
daughter and younger son mourn his
loss.

Board of Street Commissioners
Proceedings of the Board Monday

Proceedings of the Board Monday
evening:
Upon complaint being made by Mrs
Wilhelmina Kollath, the commissioned
by resolution forbid all persons licensed
to sell or give away to her husband, Fer
dinand Kollath, of the Sixth ward, any
ardent spirit or Intoxicating liquors for
the space OF one year.
Upon the introduction of resolution
offered by Commissioner Finn, a discus
sion followed relative to the building OF
Second street bridge. Commissioner Finn
presented model of the pile work of the
bridge as done by Keepers & Riddell, the
contractors, and contended that it was
not of substantial or useful character,
showing up its weak points according to
his ideas of such building and asserting
that the work so far done would not
guarantee good, strong bridge. Head
vocated placing strong stringers along the
piles, and if this was done, the bridge
would be acceptable to him.
Commissioners WILDER and Jones spoke
to the same purpose and admonished the
Board to be careful how it proceeded in
the matter of accepting this bridge.
Commissioners Habhegger combatted
the idea that the work on the bridge thus
far was not strong and satisfactory, and
gave it as his opinion that Keepers &
Riddell would not injure their reputation
as bridge builders, by erecting for the
city of Watertown, bridge that would
not be durable and substantial and in all
,rol,%o hIo TO
Commissioner Moak suggested the
meeting of the Board Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock at the bridge to view the
progress of the work on the structure,
and if possible to arrive at some conclu-
sion as to the acceptance of the work. A
motion to this effect was carried, Commits
sioner Films resolution meanwhile being
Withdrawn.
A communication to the Board from
Health officer Dr. F. G. Moulding was
read, calling attention to the condition OF
sewer on County Line street, between
the Second and Sixth wards; complaint
having been made that it is used as a
general waste pipe leaving the drainage
to evaporate and forming source of dis
ease and co1tagion, and asking the Board
how to remedy the evil.
The bid OF The Gazette for doing the
city printing according to the construc-
ton of the advertisement, at SO cents per
folio and at 80 cents in accordance with
the provisions of the charter, was referred
to the Finance Committee.
The following resolution introduced Dy
Commissioner Moak, was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the sum Of $50 be, and is here.
